Wordle is a tool that creates visual representations of text through "word clouds" where the size of each word indicates its frequency in the source text. It can be used by students to analyze essays and speeches by seeing which words are most prominent. Teachers can also have students create Wordles about themselves to share their strengths. To make a Wordle, users can enter text directly or paste a URL, then customize options like layout and colors before saving, printing or sharing their Wordle.
